I recently experimented with it and even with ntvdmx64, it refused to
launch
16 bit doors :/
However, you can use Synchronet to do basically the same function, and it works very well on Win/64!

what says it? what does it say?
i just installed it and it worked. there's soem doors that need the fossil setup and running though.
Here's what I get when I try and run Gameserv on my Win/64 mysticBBS
setup.
11:11:00 AM Node 1 (LOGON): Anonymous Running RUNBBS.INI process
11:11:00
AM ERROR: DOS doors are not supported on 64bit Windows (unless you install DOSBox 0.73) 11:11:00 AM Node 1 (LOGOFF): Logging off
It works great on my VM setup under Win/32

okay...... so did you install dosbox.
and why do you even want to run gameserv?
you should use something more robust.

I already had dosbox installed. Gameserv doesn't try an use/run dosbox.
Do
you know of a setup to do that?

I have a fully running Synchronet, MysticBBS, PCBoard, Proboard systems all telnetable. I enjoy trying to make them all work and tailor them to what I like. Just a hobby.

Maybe Net2BBS/TelnetDoor is what you are needing. I use it as a
frontend for my various BBS systems.

I use Net2BBS for my Proboard, RA, and PCBoard systems. My Gameserv works just fine in a VM running Win 10/32. I just wanted to see if it would work under Win/64 also. I use it to run BBSLink for my MajorBBS system.

well you should contact the author and ask him why it's not launching
your dosbox. also you need a dosbox with the correct patches and the correct game settings.

I had dosbox ver .74 installed, I uninstalled it and installed .73, which is the ver dosbox says is missing. Once that wass installed it worked fine. I
